How do I stop feminists from attacking my wife just because they consider her traditionally beautiful and dumb
I support genuine women’s liberation, but not seperatist feminism, which hurts women and is sexist. Those who do not unite with men, echo the same hatefilled sexism of the sociobiologists who say that there is something eternal in the male-female conflict.
The women I sided with are more radical than the feminists in my eyes, because they go to the root. But the feministas have viciously attacked them as being stooges for men like me personally.
In one talk I mentioned that, Xena and the Amazons could be seen as a positive role-model, and that I champion physical muscular fittness in women.
Thats when the slanders and attacks on my wife began. Since she doesn’t have a bodybuilder type body, but is more traditionally beautiful. So they are saying despite all my rhetoric I’m still a man. In public they asked me wife incrediby humilating personal and sexual questions about her relationship. She doesn’t know much about politics, so they made her look like a fool. Many of her answers were those of a traditional wife, so now I’m being blamed for her personality.
Just to be clear I’m a women’s liberationist not some traditional guy. This is a factional dispute. And the feminists are using my wife as a battering ram against me. I DONT support women being “traditional” wives. Thats just an accusation against me. The problem is that my wife gives “traditional” answers, which she assumes are the “right” answers wives are supposed to give. I always say that my wife is just my buddy, pal, friend, associate, partner. We’re both kind of young, and don’t really know how to play the role right. She trying to play the role of wife, I guess, and I’m trying to write a whole new script.
Although I will concede I probaly did not put enough work into making my wife a modern New Woman, and now its come back to bite me.
And in their newsletter they published incredibly obscene, crude and graphic descriptions of our supposed patriarchical intimacy. They compared us to apes, saying that despite claiming to be modern, I was just the alpha male of the tribe and taking the prettiest girl as my mate.
My wife feels terrible, and is very depressed and humiliated, and she blames herself thinking that shes caused me harm. The more she tries to explain that she loves me, and wants to be a good wife, the more patriarchical she makes our relationship look.
What should I do to diffuse the situation?
